For this weeks #WTFWednesdays, let's jump into #hysteria

1/ The concept of "hysteria" has a long and troubled history in psychiatry. It dates back to ancient Greece and was initially used to describe a wide range of physical and mental symptoms in women.
2/ "Hysteria" comes from the Greek word "hystera," meaning uterus, reflecting the historical belief that women's mental & physical symptoms were related to the uterus and its movements. This belief led to the notion that women's symptoms could be "cured" by removing the uterus.
3/ Over the centuries, the diagnosis of hysteria was used to blame women for their own suffering and pathologize normal emotions and behaviors. This led to a widespread belief that women were inherently unstable and prone to mental illness.

But who really benefited from maintaining the #hysteria fueled by the pigs' suffering and tails?

Let's talk cybersecurity #jokes while we still can.

You probably don't take on a company like @McAfee or a person like @CybersecuritySF like *I* do. But most of you DO enjoy a joke that uses #sarcasm, #burlesque, #irony, and/or #satire to make its point…

From #PepeEscobar, @telegram, 3 June 2022.

One of the ongoing debates in OilWorld: How much spare capacity remains in the system to produce oil at additional levels, globally, in case of emergency?

Answer: it’s running out & there ain’t no more!

#PeakOil is back! ⛽️ ✈️ 🚗
Let us not forget the words of the late, great Matthew Simmons (paraphrasing): “Once Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 has peaked, then the world has effectively peaked.”

Ergo, there’s no spare capacity to offset banned / boycotted Ru oil. Ergo, global oil mkt = sellers mkt now.

#PeakOil
The above piece via Pepe Escobar states that there is now declining spare capacity in #KSA 🇸🇦 due to declining investment in #oil extraction tech.

It’s actually the other way around: there’s now declining investment b/c there’s no new profitable 🇸🇦 oil to be had. #PeakOil

Let's talk cybersecurity.

I seldom jump on the "Luddites vs. Tech" bandwagon because I wish to remain focused on alleviating #hysteria. This is why I only railed for things e.g. #heuristics: it slashed the fearmongering.

Here, though, we see a...

...human conflict dating back to when Paul wrote (dictated?) Romans 8:18-21.

Look, I get it: you want to save lives on the battlefield.

But that's from *your* perspective.

From an enemy's perspective, you want to improve your #KillRatio so you can conquer them...
Military leaders on ALL sides suffer an ages-old problem.

They once preferred bows & arrows over guns; then they preferred horse-drawn artillery over tanks; and now they prefer manned aircraft over drones.

"Cyber" to them is a soldier with a laser pointer guiding a JDAM...

Most #cryptocurrency exchange owners and #newschannels in #India seem to be pretty much clueless about what the exact definition of a private cryptocurrency is.

Thread continued👇
This confusion and chaos has been driven by the recent #hysteria about the government apparently confused whether to do a #cryptoban or #regulatecrypto.
All those news articles that sprung up about the #fakeban, initially were based upon this generic understanding that all #cryptocurrencies are private in nature.

I will now fully defend @jonathanreiber's assertion.

Notice his key phrase: "a measurable economic impact on the American population."

This measurement derives from the fact #ColonialPipeline itself chose to shut down its operations "out of an abundance of caution"...
2/11
...so we can rightly say "computer security #hysteria led to a measurable economic impact on the American population."

But ... have there been UN-measured impacts?

Certainly!

I can cite my hilarious audio column from exactly 20 years ago today:
3/11
I consider it a first -- a true first! -- that we can measure a real economic impact from computer security #hysteria.

Now we have a cyber attack on the world's largest meat supplier. And it won't surprise me if @JBSCareers shuts down all operations "as a precaution."

Dear @RobManess,

Some of your followers will remember me from the 1990s "Computer Virus Myths homepage" and 2000s "Vmyths" site.

In this short thread I'll reveal why the #ColonialPipeline "cyberwar attack" is in fact COMPLETE HYSTERIA…
2/10
Both Clinton in 1998 and Obama in 2009 hyped up cyber attacks similar to what we saw with #ColonialPipeline. "[Criminals] extort money by threats to unleash computer viruses…"

Clinton & Obama used their hype to issue flawed executive orders—

—just like Biden.

And now #ColonialPipeline has openly admitted THEY pinched our nation's feeding tube. No cyber terrorist did it!

They shut down the flow of oil as a #precaution when a cyber-mugger told their Billing dept. to "gimme all your bitcoins":

Four days ago, Chris Krebs confirmed cyber terrorists had remotely shut down the east coast's lifeblood.

His tweet is why I fueled my pickup that very day with $140 of diesel at $2.67/gal at Dodge's gas station on Rt 49 in Gulfport MS.

Cybersecurity #hysteria has done amazing things over the last three decades.

And I do mean "amazing"!

It led us the knee-jerk idea for a "precautionary disconnect," which is when we shut down our operations to prevent a computer attack from shutting down our operations.
3/8
Of course we now know it was #ColonialPipeline who shut down their own operations, not the cyber terrorists--

--because they don't trust their own cyber security team.

And why should they?

I've railed for two decades on the *true* purpose a CISO serves to a company:

New important thread.

Explored: Rockefeller communique on #contacttracing, Verified (UN) guide on #vaccine #communications, insights via #Vaccine Confidence Project, & a Behavioral Insights report. Today> special report from Oct 15 2020 meeting, #WHO, Technical Advisory Group. Image
"On 15 Oct 2020, the WHO Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on Behavioural Insights & Sciences for Health held a special meeting w/ the WHO Department of Immunization, Vaccines & Biologicals to discuss behavioural considerations in relation to COVID-19 #vaccine #acceptance & uptake." Image
The report was developed by members of the WHO Technical Advisory Group on Behav. Insights & Sciences for Health, chaired by Cass Sunstein, largely credited w/ developing/popularizing notion of "nudges" as policy tools.

Specifically, let's use #hysteria to snatch the electoral college from Biden so Trump can serve another White House term:

Oh, you think the U.S. "War on Social Media" started in 2020? Hey, it's been going on for a dozen years! This 2008 @WIRED story proves you can't spell "SNAFU" without USAF:
wired.com/2008/05/in-lat…
I went on to #FOIA the *original* hysterical PowerPoint slides ... plus the biography of the USAF officer who started it all ... plus two clarification emails he sent in a desperate attempt to stop the mass #hysteria he created:

web.archive.org/web/2008091901…
...I followed up five years later by noting the officer who caused EVERYONE IN THE U.S. AIR FORCE to freak out ... um, he "earned a promotion and, almost certainly, a medal for exemplary performance during his tour at the 1st Special Operations Wing"

1/ A very compelling story about how #Women's #Pain & especially #Black women's pain is dismissed and disregarded by the healthcare system.

today.com/health/implici…
2/ The story begins with a woman with sickle cell & her horrifying experience in the hospital. It also discusses pain from syndrome's unique to women, like endometriosis or fibroids.
3/ Pain is a feminist issue. #PainToo must be believed. First, there is the dismissal of women's accounts of their own bodies, tracing to a history of dismissal of symptoms due to absurd misconceived views of #Hysteria in women. Trans folks get the same treatment, or worse.

Thread. Medical Hysteria and #InternationalWomensDay

In 1882, Anna O is considered 'patient zero' for the diagnosis of "Hysteria"

#Hysteria was originally a diagnosis only given to women

Anna O fell ill in 1880 after her father died, possibly of Tuberculosis
2. Her symptoms: severe 'nervous' #cough, paralysis, numbness, vision/hearing/speech disturbances, hallucinations, #cognitive difficulties

She was diagnosed with "Hysteria" by Breuer and Freud in ~1882

#InternationalWomensDay
3. Breuer claimed that he cured Anna O of #Hysteria using 'talking out' therapy (a very early forerunner to #psychotherapy)

His claim was false

Hi everyone thank you for all your support and empathy in the past few days.
To minimize further injuries, the original voicemail with the intended subject's name has been removed, but I am reposting here with name obscured: soundcloud.com/user-251012259… (thanks for tech help!)
I am also reposting my entire Twitter message regarding this incident, with other important ideas I forgot to include:
four days ago my work phone got a rambling but confrontational 3.5 min voicemail from someone questioning my legitimacy to teach based on my presumed #citizenship and #ethnic identity. You can hear the actual message here: soundcloud.com/user-251012259…
